Chapter 218: Episode 10 Chapter 24 At All Costs (3 Chapters completed today!)

Green light spots merged into Qin Yu’s muscles, and his muscle cells seemed to have taken growth hormones, constantly rupturing and regenerating, undergoing transformation repeatedly; the sturdiness of his body was rapidly increasing to a terrifying extent.

It wasn’t just the muscles; Qin Yu’s meridians and bones were also undergoing earth-shattering changes.

Just like refining steel, tempered to perfection, Qin Yu’s bones were also experiencing astonishing changes, their robustness continuously escalating at a breathtaking rate.

Under the integration of the green light spots, every part of Qin Yu’s body was being enhanced at a terrifying speed.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu’s mind was completely merged with the universe, quietly feeling its vastness, greatness, and nature, oblivious to the changes of the Meteor Tear and the astonishing transformations happening to himself.

Inside Qin Yu’s Dantian.

There was only one planet inside the Dantian, formed by the black Star Core absorbing countless stars, also the core of Qin Yu’s energy. At this moment, the surface of the planet started to show specks of green, but when the green light spots from Meteor Tear merged into it, the planet underwent revolutionary changes.

Previously, it was producing specks of green, but now, at a visible speed, the entire planet was rapidly covered in green. In just a moment, it produced thick and abundant nature’s spiritual energy, which was even more refined than the external world’s spiritual energy.

...

Meteor Tear was still hovering above Qin Yu’s head, slowly rotating.

Specks of green light floated down, entering various parts of Qin Yu’s body, these green spots seemingly possessed magical power that induced miraculous changes in Qin Yu’s body, changes so unique that even a Twelve Tribulations Independent Demon passing by couldn’t explain them.

After a long time, Qin Yu’s body stopped transforming.

At this moment, the robustness of Qin Yu’s body had exceeded the past by tens to hundreds of times, yet... green light spots were still falling from the Meteor Tear.

Qin Yu’s body couldn’t absorb and transform any further, only to see green light spots floating down and merging deeply into his muscle cells, hidden in every part of Qin Yu’s body. Since the body could no longer absorb, it could only store it in every part of his body.

Not only Qin Yu’s body had changed.

Qin Yu’s soul was also undergoing rapid changes. It wasn’t clear whether it was because of his fusion with the universe or the integration of the Meteor Tear’s light spots, his soul was quickly solidifying, and the soul power in his entire mind was becoming increasingly refined and powerful.

Qin Yu felt a tremor in the planet within his Dantian, the feeling of the mutual integration with the universe disappeared, and Meteor Tear merged into Qin Yu again. Despite emitting so many green light spots, the Meteor Tear itself seemed unchanged.

"What’s going on?"

All it took Qin Yu was a sweep of his Spiritual Sense inside his body to be greatly shocked.

The current sturdiness of his body, he presumed that not even Yan Mo’s Black Dragon’s body could compare to his. Qin Yu felt a tremendous power throughout his body, a power that inspired fear in his own heart.

"What exactly happened to my body? ’Star Transformation’ involves Body Refining, but it shouldn’t be this astounding, right? Now, just by relying on my body, I could probably battle high masters of the Tribulation Crossing Stage," Qin Yu was astonished internally. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

But was it really as Qin Yu speculated? At this moment, Qin Yu still didn’t fully realize the amazing aspects of his body.

"The planet in the Dantian is completely covered in green, and nature’s spiritual energy is so refined?" Qin Yu was even more astonished.

Planet Stage Cultivation and the transformation of the Star Core usually change along with the surface atmosphere of the planet. As the Cultivation deepens, the Star Core becomes hotter and the planet’s surface nature’s spiritual energy becomes richer and greener; however, at this moment, the planet’s surface was completely green.

Completely covered in green, signaling reaching the late stage of the planet.

But the Star Core inside the planet only had a faint touch of dark red, indicating that Qin Yu’s real strength was still in the early stage of the planet. After all, in the late stage of the planet, the Star Core would be like a fireball.

"What is actually going on? What happened? Why did the surface of the planet in my Dantian suddenly reach the peak of the Planet Stage filled with refined nature’s spiritual energy, surpassing the descriptions of the late planet stage in ’Star Transformation’? Yet, the Star Core is just at the normal early stage of the planet."

Qin Yu was puzzled.

Compared to the energy inside, the strength of Qin Yu’s muscles and bones was even more terrifying now.

Why was this happening? Qin Yu couldn’t yet understand.

"When did my soul become this solidified? This level should belong to the late stage of Tribulation Crossing," Qin Yu was shocked again as he probed his soul.

Merging the mind with the universe indeed enhances the solidity of the soul, but Qin Yu’s soul was almost at the late-stage Kongming (Qin Yu had some breakthroughs in his soul in the Illusionary Demon Realm of the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion). Even with merging with the universe, it should probably be at the early stage of Tribulation Crossing.

But the current solidity of his soul should belong to the late stage of Tribulation Crossing.

"Is all this because of the fusion with the universe, or..." Qin Yu looked at his chest, still unable to fathom the mystery of Meteor Tear till now.

Soon, Qin Yu stopped pondering and continued to absorb Nascent Soul energy to cultivate.

...

Nearly half a month later.

The planet in Qin Yu’s Dantian now had extremely refined nature’s spiritual energy on the surface, while deep inside, the Star Core emitted a scorching power, with the ’True Star Fire’ at the deepest part of the core nearly turning purple.

Late Stage of the planet.

After absorbing the Nascent Soul of that Second Tribulation Independent Immortal, Qin Yu finally reached the late stage of the planet.

Qin Yu stood up, his face brimming with excited smiles.

"When Master reached the Mid Tribulation Crossing Stage, he easily killed masters of the Great Success Stage and so many Tribulation Crossing Stage masters, even eventually overcoming the Ninety-nine Tribulations. Now, if I use the energy of the True Solar Core, defeating a Tribulation Crossing Stage master would be effortless, and with the dual domains of Black Flame Monarch’s Ring, defeating a Great Success Stage master might also be possible."

The core of the planet in Dantian, now like a fireball, is referred to as ’True Solar Core’ in ’Star Transformation.’ And in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the focus of cultivation is the ’True Solar Core.’

When Lei Wei reached the Mid Tribulation Crossing Stage, he easily killed so many masters by relying on the power of the ’True Solar Core.’

Qin Yu, compared to Lei Wei back in the day, also possessed the Black Flame Monarch’s Ring and a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact, and if he put all his effort into it, dealing with a master at the Great Success Stage was indeed not a difficult task. However, at this moment, Qin Yu was not fully aware that in addition to the "True Solar Core", the Black Flame Monarch’s Ring, and the Middle Grade Immortal Artifact, he also had a terrifyingly powerful body thanks to the Meteor Tear transformation!

Without experiencing true combat, Qin Yu would find it very difficult to understand the true prowess of his body transformed by the Meteor Tear.

******

Tenglong Continent, Qingxu Mountain’s Upper Heavenly Palace.

Within the ninth layer of this Upper Heavenly Palace, Shan Qu and the four Independent Immortal experts, along with Elder Qian Xu, dared not leave this ninth layer; they were waiting for the Immortal Realm’s orders, but these days of waiting were the most unbearable.

Suddenly, beams of brilliant light lit up densely from the seal characters in the central Formation, causing the eyes of Shan Qu, his fellow disciples, and Elder Qian Xu to light up. Shan Qu and Elder Qian Xu immediately stepped into the Formation, having waited a long time for this moment.

"Disciples of Qingxu Temple, listen up, and be respectful, for the person who is about to speak to you is under Emperor Yu’s direct command, and stronger than an ordinary Immortal Emperor. If anyone dares to anger the lord, not only will the lord take action, but I will also see to it that your Qingxu Temple suffers consequences,"

the voice that was previously communicating with Qingxu Temple rang out.

Upon hearing this, Shan Qu immediately felt a surge of nervousness and quickly said, "Rest assured, we will not dare to anger the lord and will honestly clarify everything."

Good heavens, the one asking the questions was an Immortal Emperor Level expert.

And much more formidable than an ordinary Immortal Emperor, being Emperor Yu’s right-hand man—what kind of strength would that be? What level of Profound Immortal was he?

"Good, just wait quietly, the lord will be here soon," the voice said and then disappeared.

Shan Qu and Elder Qian Xu quietly waited, and within the Formation, they did not even dare to breathe heavily. After all, the Formation was still connected, and even their breathing could be heard from the Immortal Realm side. If they angered an Immortal Emperor Level expert, it would be disastrous.

Even though it was just a short while, for Shan Qu and Elder Qian Xu, it felt like an eternity.

"Disciple of Qingxu Temple, Elder Qian Xu, I’ve heard you know some information about Ni Yang, is that true?" a languid voice came through.

Finally, he had arrived.

Elder Qian Xu took a deep breath and promptly responded respectfully, "Disciple Qian Xu, indeed I have some information about Immortal Emperor Ni Yang."

"Oh, tell me in detail," the voice continued languidly, seemingly indifferent, yet just hearing that voice made Elder Qian Xu feel an oppressive sensation. It was the aura naturally exuding from someone in a high position.

Elder Qian Xu carefully said, "Lord, some time ago, I, along with some cultivators, entered the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion. During our time in the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion, I learned some information about Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, who self-claimed to be an Eighth Level Profound Immortal. We also deduced from the Immortal Artifacts we obtained that he is a Famous Sword Immortal, as the brush he left behind contained incredibly fierce Sword Qi."

"Oh..." the languid voice continued, "Tell me in detail about your process of entering the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion, and also about the treasures you obtained."

"Yes."

"Originally, I and several others entered the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion, and upon entering, we were immediately trapped in an Illusionary Demon Realm."

"Ah, the Illusionary Demon Realm?" That languid voice expressed surprise, "Did you then enter a palace called the Qingyu Immortal Mansion?"

Qian Xu, overjoyed, said, "Yes, the Immortal Mansion we later entered was indeed the Qingyu Immortal Mansion. At first, we were fighting over the Township Stele, but in the end, we discovered that the core of the Qingyu Immortal Mansion was a Primordial Spirit Essence."

The languid voice showed a hint of pleasure, "Correct. When Ni Yang originally crafted the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, he even bragged about it to us, indeed he used the Primordial Spirit Essence as the core." At this moment, the Immortal Emperor level expert had come to believe Qian Xu.

"Alright, there’s no need to mention what dangers you passed. Tell me, what treasures did you obtain?" The languid voice now took on a slightly more solemn tone.

Feeling the atmosphere growing tense, Qian Xu immediately replied, "In the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, they should originally have awarded us this mansion, but unfortunately, we didn’t find the Primordial Spirit Essence. By the time we reached the Treasure Pavilion in the inner hall, on the first floor, we obtained the Spiritual Beast Ring, and on the second floor, we received a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact brush and ink and wash paintings. However, there were only three paintings, and I did not receive one."

"Oh? I ask you, did the brush and the Spiritual Beast Ring leave any message about the ’Ni Yang Realm’?" The voice lost all traces of laziness, becoming completely earnest.

Qian Xu took a deep breath, the pressure in those words making him incredibly nervous.

"No, the Spiritual Beast Ring and the brush were just ordinary Immortal Artifacts, nothing special, except that the brush left some Sword Qi behind." Elder Qian Xu said this and suddenly remembered the ecstatic expressions of Lady Yan Ji, Qin Yu, and Yan Mo when they acquired the ink and wash paintings.

"Ah, my Lord, I have something to say, which may be related to the ’Ni Yang Realm’ you mentioned," Qian Xu respectfully said.

"Oh, speak quickly." The Immortal Emperor urgently responded, his mind completely focused on what Qian Xu was about to reveal.

"My Lord, when we were on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, three people obtained the ink and wash paintings. At the time, they were extremely excited, even trembling all over and their faces flushed. I found it very strange. They had seen the Qingyu Immortal Mansion and other treasures before. What treasure could be worthy of such an ecstatic response? I think, this might be related to the ’Ni Yang Realm’ you mentioned," Elder Qian Xu said nervously.

The voice fell silent.

A moment later—

"Who are these three people?" the Immortal Emperor asked.

Eagerly, Elder Qian Xu said, "Those three, one is from the Dragon Clan, one is a Demon Cultivator from the high ranks of the Yin Yue Palace, and the third is just an ordinary master, but he has an Independent Immortal behind him, a very powerful Independent Immortal!"

"Dragon Clan, Demon World... they probably reported back to the Demon World right away, which is a bit troublesome. This third person, just has an Independent Immortal behind him?" the Immortal Emperor’s tone carried a hint of disdain, "Qingxu Temple listens to the order. At all costs, the ink and wash painting from the third person must be seized. Whatever you lose, we will compensate tenfold, even a hundredfold, and even more treasures will be granted to you."

Lose everything and be compensated tenfold, a hundredfold? And be granted even more treasures?

Shan Qu was overjoyed and immediately said, "Rest assured, my Lord, I and three other brothers and sisters will make a move and at all costs will surely seize those ink and wash paintings. Even if he is a Twelve Tribulations Independent Immortal, our Qingxu Temple will manage to seize it at all costs."

For the future of Qingxu Temple, the heritage of a million years, Qingxu Temple has decided to spare no effort.
